Delivering a wide range of fluid automation solutions that meet today’s most challenging brewing demands

A reliable fluid automation system is essential in the brewing industry – but determining the right solution isn’t always easy. At Emerson, we know what you’re up against. With our extensive range of products, we can help provide a solution to ensure efficient and reliable performance from brewing to packaging.

Brewers face potential challenges across many critical processes; ranging from energy consumption, physical space constraints, installation and maintenance. Components need to be efficient, reliable, durable, and up to par with the industry’s standards.

In today’s highly competitive brewing industry, production efficiency is paramount yet difficult to achieve with the rising cost of resources, increased regulation, and a lack of operational flexibility.

It’s challenging to find suppliers with a comprehensive product offering of solenoid and air-operated valves, cylinders, actuators, sensors, and indicators used throughout the brewing lifecycle.

You need a supplier you can trust with your most challenging demands.

Rely on automation to maximize performance and keep product quality high

Today’s brewers depend on automation. Whether it’s a microbrewery with a few valves, or a large brewery with complex processes, all need fluid and motion control solutions that keep product quality high — and their operations running trouble-free. These solutions must have long service lives, be compact and easy to install in tight spaces, and provide rapidly available replacement components and technical support to minimize downtime. Brewers and OEMs require fluid and motion control solutions crafted to their own specific needs. Only Emerson’s comprehensive portfolio of ASCO™, ASCO Numatics™, and Topworx™ products can fulfill these challenges with ultra-reliable components – delivered and serviced with speed and responsiveness.

Craft beer volume grew 6.2% – and continues to rise

The U.S. now has over 4,000 active breweries, the highest number since 1873.

U.S. craft beer sales reached $23.5 billion – achieving 10% growth over 2015

From Milling to Packaging: Superior fluid and motion control solutions across the brewing process

Grain Handling

Pneumatic conveyor systems are commonly used to handle the transfer of grains from silos to milling stations. Proper valve selection for your application can help automate the process therefore optimizing raw material consumption and reduce labor. Our industry leading valves such as our ASCO air-operated pilot valves to ASCO Numatics Valve Island with G3 Fieldbus Electronics are robust and reliable. They are ideal for both indoor conveyor systems and outdoor silos to pilot large actuators. Mounted on top of any pneumatic actuator, TopWorx Switchboxes offer position indication and control for on/off valves.

Mashing

Brewers must monitor mash temperatures extremely closely to ensure product quality and taste. ASCO general purpose solenoid valves, ASCO Numatics air preparation equipment and state-of-the-art ASCO Numatics directional control valves with G3 electronic modules provide the necessary quality of air and intelligent solutions to ensure precise temperature control.

Lautering

Water is added during lautering to extract more of the fermentable sugars from the grain. This must be done carefully to not disrupt the grain bed that serves as a natural filter. The wide range of ASCO general purpose and ASCO pilot valves for fluid automation can provide the precise flow control in order to optimize sugar extraction from the grain.

Boiling

When boiling to sterilize the beer and release hop flavors, timing is critical. Adding hops requires a systematic process to assure the proper aroma and flavor. For precise automation of process and ASCO air operated valves the ASCO Numatics directional control valve with G3 electronics incorporates an innovative graphic display used for easy commissioning, visual status & diagnostics.

As a long-time world leader in solenoid and pneumatics technologies, Emerson is a single source of superior solutions for the brewing industry.

Whirlpooling

This process employs centripetal force to separate unwanted solids from the wort. ASCO Angle Body valves have high reliability and flow capability to transfer the higher viscous and unwanted particulate media.

Cooling

Beer will begin to oxidize and produce flavors almost immediately during the cooling process. ASCO Angle Body valves and ASCO general purpose solenoid valves can control flow of steam, water, and even high viscous media such as glycol – providing and array of choices for high precision temperature control.

Fermentation & Maturation

Whether lager or ale, Emerson has a variety of solutions for regulating fermentation and maturation process temperatures. ASCO temperature control valves can eliminate multiple valves for double and single-jacketed tanks, enabling the use of a single body valve in a tank or vessel. An ASCO PositionerD valve can be used to proportionally add glycol to conserve cooling fluid. Additionally, our TopWorx switchbox solutions can be used for indication and sensing in critical steps. For reduction in wiring complexity and installation, ASCO temperature control valves can be combined with the ASCO Numatics G3 electronics and ASCO Numatics air preparation equipment for piloting and temperature sensing.

Bottling and Packaging Clean in Place (CIP) / Wash-down

ASCO and ASCO Numatics fluid and motion control products are found throughout the brewery’s bottling and packaging processes. Our solutions ensure high-speed throughput, reliability, and accuracy in pilot filling, labeling, packaging, and palletizing operations - from quick-turnaround lines to high- volume production.

Effective sterilization of a facility’s lines and vessels depends on CIP processes that maintain specific temperatures. Deviations or inaccurate readings from faulty equipment diminish process efficacy and cause contamination that spoils product. ASCO and ASCO Numatics fluid and motion control products are designed to meet a variety of harsh wash- down environments.

These direct-acting valves achieve precise temperature control in fermentation tanks. Each body is comprised of two valves with six ports to allow both the feed and return of media – allowing one component to control both hot and cold glycol flows.

ASCO Temperature Control Valves

ASCO solenoid valves control the flow of glycol into the cooling system. Their high flow rates and rugged stainless steel constructions provide customers with more cycles and greater throughput

The ASCO 290 stainless steel angle body valve for fluid control is a rugged, high-flow, on/off valve providing up to 60% higher flow than competing designs and up to 5 times longer life than conventional ball valves. Offered as either pilot-operated or motorized versions gives a facility to choose between compressed air or electricity. The 290 FB meets the FDA CFR21 & (EC) 1935-2004 certifications, making it an ideal choice for CIP or tank / vessel systems.

The ASCO 290 Series proportional valve permits controlled intro-duction of glycol into the cooling system. This allows for the gradual addition of glycol depending on the cooling needs and size of the batch. Offered in either pilot-operated or motorized models, the ASCO 290 Series enables the use of compressed air or electricity and is available in stainless steel for protection from caustic wash-down procedures.
